Good ROV's?

[Narced Out]

Hi all,

Im looking for some decent ROV's that are reasonably priced. Ones with 100-200ft of tether that have a decent lighting system to search the ocean floor out here in San Diego. Anyone know of good rov's like home made ones or marketed ones?

You are looking for a video ray. You can have a basic unit for $5900, and the price goes up from there. Outstanding customer service (because you'll break it sooner or later), and all the bells and whistles of much larger units. The main drawback to the Video Ray is it's small size. It's thrust/size ratio is perfect for a pool, but if you encounter any current, it can't overcome, so your boat driver must be especially skillful. Have fun.

Is this any good for oceans?

No idea. At those depths, wouldn't you dive?
